Sirach 39:29-31

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²⁹ Even as he turned the waters into a dry land, and the earth was made dry: and his ways were made plain for their journey: so to sinners they are stumblingblocks in his wrath.

³⁰ Good things were created for the good from the beginning, so for the wicked, good and evil things.

³¹ The principal things necessary for the life of men, are water, fire, and iron, salt, milk, and bread of flour, and honey, and the cluster of the grape, and oil, and clothing.
